Taking turkeys to Alaska.
Pressed meats hold firm.
Chicken market nominal.
Verv firm egg tone.
Market full of celery.
Hop sales at former prices.
Butter is firm; prices mixed.
Tatar Turkey to Alaska.
There has been qu'te a radical change
In the turkey situation here during the
past 24 hours. While storage houses
re still quite liberally supplied with
birds that remained unsold after
Thanksgiving the supplies are not de-
:' pressing as they were yesterday. W hlle
there is as yet practically no demand
' from the city trad for turkeys, outside
markets are buying. One Front street
handler sold quite a bunch of turkeys
to the north during the past 24 hours
round 20c for poor quality, while a
large retailer cleaned up the bulk of his
r storage birds to a northern bouse for
Alaska shipment at close to the top
. figures of the week. This nothern buy
' Ing puts an entirely new phase upon the
turkey situation. While the situation In
the turkey market at this time is far
' from being pleasing to handlers, it
might be considerably worse. One fea
ture of the market at this time Is that
there Is scarcely a first class turkey
fov sale In the Portland market at this
time. There are many "culls" in the
ice nouses nearly six tons, or 12.000
pounds, going in Thursday night and
Friday morning. Of this amount one
ton has already been moved out and
from present Indications the situation
will be considerably improved in the
' near future.
Ho Marset for Chickens.
A remarkable feature of the present
poultry market Is the fact that there is
: practically no, demand at all for chick
ens. While the receipts of chickens are
quite liberal thev are not near so heavy
as usually shown at this period of the
year. The demand seems to have topped
off altogether.
Heidirur Err ry 7im.
Eggs are being held firmer in the
Front street markets today, but so far
as known nothing over 40c is obtainable
for supplies unless perhaps for stamped
stock from nearby r'aces. Arrivals of
local eggs are smaller and this has been
a stimulant of much importance to the
entire egg market here. Eastern eggs
are advancing and the market is firmer
at the higher prices.
jrew Mackerel I Arriving.
New catch mackerel is arriving in this
market from Norway. Prices on Im
ported fish are about 20 per cent lower
than a year ago. American fish are
about 10 per cent lower. Most of the
cntc.h of mackerel In Norway waters
this season consisted of email sizes with
no bloaters noted. On the other hand
the catch In the American Atlantic was
principally large fish.
Market Full of Celery.
The localmarket Is 'full of celery at
this time. Local supplies are arriving
quite freely and still another car of
California stock was unloaded this
morning. The latter, however, was of
quite good quality and sells at S4.25
. 4.60 a crate.
Orange market Is Bteady here at un
changed prices, supplies selling at 13.00
6 3.25 a box.
There Is little demand for horseradish
at this time and quality Is poor because
Of long keeping.
Sales of hops are again reported in
the country around ' 8c a pound, the
latter for gfood quality. There Is a
scarcity of choice goods and this quality
Is likely firm at 8r. although none of
the dealers are orrerlng over 8c at tne
moment. There Is no change in the for
eign situation, brewers generally show
ing a disposition to take their contracts
without making additional purchases.
Brief Hotes of rront street Trad.
Cranberries are in liberal supply.

Portland Union Stockyards. Nov. 28.
The livestock market showed nominal
arrivals for the past 24 hours, receipts
Including but 130 hogs and 20 cattle. No
sheep came. The outlook for the hog
market is rather mixed. Oood stuff is
scarce and if It came would probably
bring ns high as $6.25, but none of this
class of stock is coming forward at
the moment.
Sheep market Is quite firm with trade
famished for want of supplies. Even
the larger packers are not able to fill
the demands of their trade and this
may bring forth higher values in the
near future.
The torve-of the cattle market is quite
good, with everyone asking about sup
plies and prices stiffly maintained at
former figures:
Select Hogs Not Available.
"Select hogs are not available in the
market just now," says W. P. Oould.
"The market is rather weak for them
Just now, but so iR the quality. I be
lieve it still possible to obtain as high
as $6.26 for good hogs but those hogs
must weigh from 240 to 250 pounds
each and must be fat and flnlRhed. Hogs
that weigh that amount and are not fin
ished will not bring the price.
"Already there is a better demand all
through the cattle market and all sorts
of stock are being taken up by killers
with prices held very firm though un
changed. "While there is no change in the
price of sheep as yet the prospects are
good and although I don't like to have
shippers hold back their supplies too
much, I am of the opinion that prices
will do better after awhile."
Today's arrivals of livestock in the
yards compare with this day in recent
years aa follows:
Hogs. Cattle. Sheep.

JUH'A 103 lOSttB
Chicago, Nov. 28. There was a very
narrow range of prices In the local
wheat market today, with a very alow
tone abroad. The market has a waiting
attitude and neither side Is willing to
go much out of its way to Indue trad
ing.
While the market started a fraction
or two higher here this morning, the
price did not reflect any changed con
ditions In the pit. There were a few
snorts wno wanted to be square over
Sunday and as most of them had paper
profits they took them and covered at
tne fractional advance. After this cov
ering was over there was practically
nothing to sustain the advance and af
ter drifting Into Intense dullness a
weaker feeling appeared and the market
closed o under yesterday for the De
cember and unchanged for the May and
juiy options.
Liverpool traders-were undecided In
their views and the market there closed
unchanged to A above yesterday.

New York, Nov. 28. Bearish activity
was the feature of the trading In the
stock market, and general losses were
recorded. 8melters was Inclined to lag
in view of sagging tendency of silver
metal. Which, It is thought, will affect
earnings of tha company materially and
Amalgamated, Anaconda and Steel were
In slow demand and participated in tne
movement. The expectancy of large or

feeling to prevail In steel shares, and
the two Issues show but small losses.

With the slowest demand for flour
ever seen upon tha Pacific coast there
is very little doing In a wheat buying
way Just now by millers. The only
movement of note Is the purchases iof
liberal lots at interior point but even
these lots exports are not making very
mucn eriort to purchase.
The cash wheat market Is showing no
change in value so far as publically
made, but it Is quite doubtful if any
thing over 89c could be received for
club, track Portland.
On the Portland board of trade there
was a feeling of weakness in wheat fu
tures. For December option the bids
were c lower and a like decline was
shown by holders of the same option.
For November wheat board of trade
bids are c a bushel under yesterday
at 91c while asked prices are c down.
There was no change in coarse grains
either cash or future delivery, prices
being the same as yesterday.

MISSING WITH
SMITE
John II. Eppler in Contempt
for Failing to Produce
Paper in Court.
Where Is John H. Eppler?
That is a question that is becoming
exceedingly pointed In the circuit court,
where he" was ordered to appear not
later than 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
with a note for $8600. The note was to
be held for sale to satisfy an excutlon
for $1500 under a Judgment given
against Eppler and his wife in favor of
Mrs. Mary A. Stark.
Instead of appearing with the note,
as he was ordered to do by Judge Gan
tenbeln, Eppler has himself disappeared.
Mrs. Eppler says he left homo Thanks
giving morning, saying he was going
over to Vancouver to get the note, which
was on deposit there. He has not been
seen since. Thomas J. Cleeton, attor
ney for the Epplers, says he does not
know .where his client has gone, and
thinks that the man Is not fully re
sponsible for his actions.
"I want Eppler here, and tbe note as
well," said Mr, Cleeton today. "1 have
no idea where he ia He is 71 years of
age and from information I have gained
from a physician 1 do not believe that
he realizes what a serious thing he is
doing In disobeying the order of the
court. That is the only way I can ex
cuse hla action."
Dan J. Malarkey and John F. Logan,
the attorneys for Mrs. Stark, declare
that no stone will be left unturned to
uncover property owned by the Epplers,
which they are alleged to have trans
ferred to their son after suit was begun
against them in order to defeat the
judgment The disappearance of Eppler
and the probability that he has tied from
the state with the note from which It
was hoped that the Judgment might be
realised, puts new complications In the
case.
Mrs. Eppler appeared yesterday after
noon and paid Into court $40 that she
was oruJred to produce by Judge Gan
tenbein last Wednesday, so she is not in
danger of being declared In contempt of
court. Hearing In the matter is set for
next Monday afternoon.

East Portland station for the Southern
Pacific railroad have been completed and

accommodate present east side traffic, ,
but that from all the trains of the west
side branch of the Southern Pacific
which will come Into the station by way'

Conspiring With AV.
P. Harlow.
The preliminary examination of W. B,
Glenn, charged with larceny by bailee,
was begun before Acting Judge Seabrook
this morning, but was not -concluded.
It will be resumed Monday morning,
Meantime Glenn is held in jail in de
fault of bail.
Glenn was bookkeeper for the con.
trading firm of Willett & Burr on con
struction work which they were doing
outside the city. He and the superin
tendent of construction. W. P. Harlow,
were left in- charge of tne work, Willett
being away and Burr going to camor
nia.
Burr arranged It that all pay checks
drawn against the pay account in the
bank must be signed by both Glenn and
Harlow. It Is charged that the two
men entered into a conspiracy to steal
the money. Checks were drawn in Har
low's favor against the account, and it
is said Harlow and Glenn divided the
proceeds and had a high time on about
$1000 which they are said to have ob
tained uniawruiiv.
Glenn protests his Innocence, and lays
tne Diame on tne other man. a warrant
is out for the arrest of Harlow, but he
Is still at liberty, although it is stated
that he was seen on the streets yester
day.
in addition to emDezsung trie money
in the bank, it Is claimed that Harlow
and Glenn went so far as to sell for
$2000 an $8000 steam shovel belonging
to the company. It was the effort or
Glenn to cash a check for $1200 given
in part payment for the shovel that lead
to his arrest. When he presented tha
check at the bank he found that pay
ment on it had been stopped, the pur
chasers having become suspicious that
things were not Just as they should be.

BAKER PRICES
Protesting against popular prices for
the sale of seats to "The Land of Nod,"
Sam E. Rork, the owner and manager
of the shoy. yesterday secured a tem
porary injunction from Presiding Judge
Gantenbeln in the circuit court to pre
vent the sale of orchestra or parquet
tickets at the Baker theatre for leas
than Sl.bO during the week beginning
December 6. That Is the date sched
uled for the coining of "The Land of
Nod."
Manager Rork, on the one side, con
tends that his managerial pride will be
greatly hurt by cutting ihe price of top
seats to 76 cents, and that he will lose
standing throughout the country If the
news gets out that seats are selling
for 75 cents in Portland. On true other
hand Manager George L. Baker of the
Baker says that he is determined to
keep faith with his patrons, and that
the regular prices of his house shall not
be broken. He says the show is under
contract to play at his house, and he
will not consent to cancel it.
Judge Gantenbeln will hear argument
on making the Injunction permanent
next Monday afternoon. Manager Baker
went to Seattle last night to confer with
John Cort regarding the tangle.

Charging that tha Barber Asphalt
Paving company Is a trust and that th
city has no right to close a contract
with It for street Improvements under
conditions that make competitive bid
ding by contractors Impossible, the- In
vestment company, of which E. Quack
enbush is president, has begun suit in
the circuit court against tha city.
Mayor Lane and Auditor Barbur.
Quackenbush is after an injunction to
prevent ..ia city from contracting with
the Barber concern for the improvement
of Cleveland avenue from Kllllngswerta
to Ainsworth avenue. In Piedmont. The
complaint sets out the ownership of 22
lots on that avenue by the Investment
company, and says that more than half
the burden of the contemplated improve
ment will fall upon It. The cost to tha
plaintiff would be about $5,000. it la
claimed, without any compensating ben- V
The complaint also alleges that four
rain sumps are proposed to be located
at the Intersection of streets outside of
the assessment district. These are de
clared to be of no advantage to Cleve
land avenue property and to provide
Insufficient drainage. It is charged that
under the plans prepared by the city
engineer the materials to be used could
only be furnished by the Barber trust,
and that only one bid was submitted or
expected.
Tha complaint, filed this forenoon, al
leges that tbe bid was opened "on or
about the hour of i p. m.," on November
28, the time fixed' for opening propos
als. The suit Is thus several hours
ahead of tha actual opening of the bid.
SUE COIITRACTOR
EOS ADVAIICES
Archie Mason, James N. Davis and
Walter F. Burrell, composing the firm
of Mason, Davis 4 Co., have begun suit
against Benjamin F. Jacobs In the cir
cuit court for $10,642, balance alleged
to be due on advances made to the de
fendant for work performed for tha
plaintiffs on the Klamath reclamation
project.
The complaint states that Mason, Da
vis & Co. was organized for the purpose
of contracting with the United States
for work on the Klamath scheme, and in
March, 1906, made an agreement with '
Jacobs by which he was to perform
5 art of the work. Later, it Is alleged,
acd'bs became short on funds to pay
his laborers and carry on the work, so
advances were made to him by the com
pany, with the, understanding that these
sums should be repaid with 10 per cent
interest.
It is alleged that $116,450 was pa d
out for the benefit of Jacobs, and that
there Is $3,324 Interest due on that sum.
From tha United States, in payment for
work performed, the company has re
ceived $105,820, which has been cred
ited to the defendant, and it has also
received $3,412 from Jacobs. This leaves
a balance of $10,642 unpaid, for which
Judgment is asked.
